For busy working women, the suit is often the easiest outfit to throw on in the morning. In general, this feature is not about interview suits for women, which should be as classic and basic as you get — instead, this feature is about the slightly different suit that is fashionable, yet professional.

I’ve been eyeing this suit for a while.  The skirt was what caught my eye — a simple, straight A-line is difficult to find in a suit, but that does seem to be what we have here.  (They note that there is a slit in the skirt, but don’t say where it is — I wonder if it’s on the side or in the back.)  Looking at it more closely, the white pinstriping on the gray wool is a bit unusual — a nice, springy touch.  I’d pair it with a bright yellow top if I were feeling happy, black or navy if I were feeling more sedate.  The jacket (Wool One-Button Pinstripe Jacket) is $368, the skirt (Pinstripe Skirt) is $188, and the pants (Wool Plain-Front Lucia Pinstripe Pant) are $198.
